Is there a way to increase the height of a custom multi-line string field so that it acts similar to the default Description field?  The Description field expands to a larger size and then at some point adds a scroll bar. Currently the custom multi-line field only shows 4 lines of text and then adds the scroll bar. It would be great to have the multi-line string field expand vertically to show more than 4 lines of text before adding the scroll bar. We are running assyst 11.6.3.  Thanks!

It is not the most elegant solution, but you could probably use CSS as follows:

<textarea name="webCustomPropertyValue(83716).value" data-dojo-attach-point="focusNode,containerNode,textbox" autocomplete="off" class="formInput dijitTextBox dijitTextArea" tabindex="0" dir="ltr" lang="en" id="EC471_webCustomPropertyValue_83716" rows="4" widgetid="EC471_webCustomPropertyValue_83716" value="[FIELD CONTENTS]">[FIELD CONTENTS]</textarea>

 

.tundra section:not(.restClient) .axios-management-form .axios-form-text .dijitTextBox[widgetid="EC471_webCustomPropertyValue_83716"]{
height: 1000px;
}

This is not something we do so I would test it thoroughly before putting it into place.

Thanks so much Steve. I’ll do some testing with this. Much appreciated.
